Stampin' Blends on DSP

I have another Spring card for you today, using Stampin' Blends.  DSP, no matter how pretty the design, can take on an entirely new look when you color in part or all of it for your background.

I love the black accents with the Bermuda Bay.  I also went over the flower centers with my Chalk Marker.

The butterfly is attached only by his middle, so the wings can have a nice dimension.  Pretty!  Right?

UP NEXT:

May 13 --- Scraps and Prayers / 5:30-7:30 / $18.
We'll be making 3 beautiful cards ... with watercoloring and trying fun, new techniques using the Stamparatus and we'll try THREE fun 'tricks' with embossing folders.  It won't be all Brusho for this class but it will be all fun!

Coloring Techniques, Part 11

Woo hoo!  We're ready to begin the last section of my technique journal today.  I hope you're learning a lot from what I've shared.  I also hope that you will try some or all of these techniques, then leave me a comment about it. 

I actually have TWO versions of today's technique.  It looks beautiful both ways!
Version 1:
Stamp the image with VersaMark Ink and then heat emboss using white EP.  Once it cools, color in the image using our Chalk Marker.

Version 2:
Begin the same as Version 1 and then color over the Chalk Marker using our new Blendabilities.

Here are the cards I made to showcase both versions:

To get the touch of color on the flower on the envelope, I used a stamp from Gorgeous Grunge.  The flower is from the Hostess set, I Like You.

So leave me a comment and tell me which version you like the best.  I love them both and think each one creates its own unique and beautiful look.  I decided to keep any sentiment and/or message just on the inside and let the front showcase the beautiful image.
